PRAISING OPPORTUNITY ZONES
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, on Friday, I was
grateful to travel on Air Force One to Charlotte with my colleagues
from South Carolina, Ralph Norman and William Timmons, along with our
colleagues from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry, Richard
Hudson, Mark Meadows, Mark Walker, Ted Budd, Dan Bishop, and Greg
Murphy.
WIS-TV News of Columbia reported the President spoke at the North
Carolina Opportunity Now Summit at Central Piedmont Community College.
President Trump highlighted the impact opportunity zones have made and
announced a new nationwide initiative called Opportunity Now.
``Under my administration, we work to restore the American promise of
upward mobility,'' President Trump said. ``We want everyone to get
ahead and get ahead big league.''
Over the weekend, everywhere I went, citizens praised President
Donald Trump with victory in the impeachment hoax as acquitted,
exonerated, vindicated, not guilty, innocent, empowered, esteemed, and
cleared.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate President Donald Trump.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
